I'm trying to edit some family movies that were originally on vhs,
transferred to a DVD, and now I've copied them onto my computer. I've been
able to edit some clips that look fine in the preview window, but once they
are published, a green bar covers the bottom half of the screen and the clip
itself is not cut off but is slightly distorted. Any ideas how to get rid
of the green bar?

I found the answer. In case anyone else has this problem, here's what I did.
I downloaded XVid from its website. Then I followed the directions from
another website which told me to go to the configure decoder,then output
options, and choose compatibility renderer.

I have had the same Problem Please post further info on this. I prefer the
dvd menu options on this program rather than the plain ones with nero or
others of the sort. too bad it takes all day to make a movie.

Here's the website I found by googling my problem:
http://www.bernzilla.com/item.php?id=884
When I tried to follow the directions, I was unable to find XVid on my
computer. So I googled XVid and then went to ( I think) the 2nd entry to
download XVid. After I downloaded it, I was able to follow the directions
from bernzilla and when I published a video - Voila!! no green bar!!!!

Sorry but i am really confused,
you know you download the Xvid link so now you can get in in programmes
and then do the decoder etc...
can you give me a link for downloading it cause i cant find it!
and once you download it what do you do?
do you save it or open it etc..
thanks i would be so greatful if you could save me from this annoying
nightmare!
